Vince Carter Toronto Raptors 1998/99 Big & Tall Hardwood Classics Swingman Jersey Purple
Size Guide
Everything below is the garment measured flat, not your body. Chest is the full width from armpit seam to armpit seam; length runs from the highest shoulder point down to the hem. Fastest way to get it right: take a jersey that fits you well, measure it the same way, and match the numbers.

Basketball jerseys are meant to hang loose. If you want a regular, closer fit, order one size below your usual.
Go up. The extra room is how the cut is designed to be worn, and it layers over a hoodie in winter without pulling.
Match the numbers to a shirt you already own rather than to your body. Printed names and numbers on the back do not change the fit.

Description
Vince Carter, Toronto Raptors, the older colours — cut for wearing, not framing.
Think of it as the shirt that lives near the door during the season — easy to grab, easy to wear, easy to wash and put straight back on. Up front it is all Toronto Raptors; across the shoulders it is Vince Carter. The graphics are built up in layers and heat-set, so the front and back hold their shape.
Recycled polyester with wicking treatment — the reason it does not cling or feel damp after a long evening. V-neck, taped and tagless: nothing to itch, nothing to cut out. The whole point is that it does not need an occasion — it is as good on a Tuesday as on game night. It sits nicely over a long-sleeve tee when the weather turns, and works on its own when it does not.

Why it lasts
- Holds its shapeDenser knit resists the sag that featherweight jerseys pick up halfway through a season.
- Pairs with everythingJeans, shorts, a jacket in November — the Purple is easy to build around.
- Built around Vince CarterEverything on the shirt points at one name and number, in Toronto Raptors colours.
- True to the team lookThe Purple and the marks follow the Toronto Raptors palette rather than approximating it.
Worth knowing
Is it true to the photos?
The listing photos show the Purple colourway as it comes out of the bag.
How does this compare with the lighter printed builds?
This one runs on a denser knit with layered graphics and a closer cut. The lighter builds trade some structure for airflow and a roomier fit.
What is the shirt like after a full day of wear?
The knit holds its shape and the neckline keeps its form — it is built for long evenings.
Can it be worn as everyday wear?
That is what most people end up doing with it — it works as a shirt, not just as a jersey.
